This container provides a virtual XFCE desktop environment that can be accessed through a remote desktop client, using the xrdp open source RDP server.
The latest tag is always built from the latest Ubuntu release.
The current Xrdp version is
- xrdp 0.9.3.1
- xorgxrdp 0.2.3
Start the container and expose the RDP server on the desired port (default is 3389).
- basic:
docker run -p 3389:3389 mirekphd/secure-xrdp:latest
- secure (mimicking OpenShift):
docker run --rm --name secure-xrdp -it -p 3389:3389 -u 1000 --cap-drop=SETUID --cap-drop=SETGID --cap-drop=KILL --cap-drop=MKNOD mirekphd/secure-xrdp:latest
Connect your RDP client to this port. Default username / password is user / changeme.
If you are using a hardened Linux kernel, such as SELinux enforcing or grsecurity, you might need to use the
--cap-add=IPC_OWNERoption, otherwise, the client will disconnect immediately before the desktop is shown.
Adding more applications is easy, just create a new Dockerfile based on this image and include some apt-get commands.
FROM kxes/desktop:latest
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install package-name
You can create users / change passwords by including some commands in your Dockerfile:
RUN useradd --create-home username
RUN echo "username:password" | chpasswd
For more advanced customisation, you might want to fork this repository and build an image from scratch. If you make something cool with it, please let us know!
Pull requests are always welcome if you have implemented new features or improvements.
